Cabrera-Bello edges Westwood to win in Dubai

Journeyman Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello produced a nerveless final round performance to claim the biggest win of his career at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.


One behind Lee Westwood overnight, the 27 year old Spaniard - whose only previous European Tour victory came at the 2009 Austrian Golf Open - carded a bogey free 68 -18, to  beat LeeWestwood (70) -17, who had led by two strokes this morning following a superb eagle at the second but struggled to find his best form on the greens, and Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher (69) -17 by a shot  Both men missed putts to force a play-off on the 18th and Westwood has now finished 2nd here on three occasions and he had birdie chances on his last 4 holes which he did not convert, something his manager Chubby Chandler called very concerning.

Rory McIlroy - the winner here in 2009 - dropped out of contention early on, but picked up four shots on the way home to claim T5 on -14
